Also a fan of Nikwax, infact if you do their free to enter online quiz they will sewnd you a free sample. Ive won loads of samples from tent proofing to leather proof for boots.
The only true waterproof is an oil skin like fishermen wear and it does not breathe but most garments ability to shed water can be improved.
I even treated my Aldi denim/kevlar jeans to a wash and it held the rain off for a little longer than normal!
I think the best thing to do is get yourself a full one piece non breathable waterproof oversuit and just wear it over your re proofed gear that way you have crash and extreme weather protection for a small investment.
